Frank Fraboni just discovers the Biltmore Estate. From the WLOS blog:

I don’t know, maybe I’m a little nutty, but I like old things and enjoy meeting other people who really know stuff. My memory could never be that good, even on my best day. I picked up some really cool facts though. It took 6 years and a thousand people to build the Biltmore Estate. The home has 175-thousand square feet with 250 rooms. Only 98 of them have ever been opened to the public. The estate averages 2000 visitors a DAY, as many as 8000 on peak days. That’s about a million a year. That’s a lot of people fascinated with this historic landmark. Maybe they’re just as nutty as me!
